Verify a decision

Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.

How verification works

  1. We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction.
  2. We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
  3. You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>

Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

All core allegations — the Ponzi structure, BTC Package terms, multi-jurisdictional regulatory actions, the August 2023 EDNY indictment, December 2023 Miami airport arrest, and October 2024 fugitive status — are confirmed by Tier 1 primary sources including the DOJ, Texas SSB, Ontario Capital Markets Tribunal, Saskatchewan government, FBI, and major wire services (CNBC, Bloomberg Law, NBC New York). Eight claims are rated 'partially supported,' but these reflect precision imprecisions rather than factual errors: the $150 million figure is the 2023 market-value equivalent of stolen crypto (claim_findings[3]), the Dubai vs. Ras al-Khaimah registration distinction is flagged but correctly noted in the page body (claim_findings[0]), and Mike Kiefer's co-founder vs. senior-promoter characterization is contested across sources without a definitive primary-source refutation (claim_findings[28]). Two claims are unverifiable (Nova Scotia/Manitoba simultaneous alerts and the New Brunswick December 21 date) but these are minor corroborating details, not load-bearing allegations. Coverage gaps — including on-chain address tracing, Joao Severino's legal status, and victim restitution proceedings — are material suggestions for future expansion but do not undermine the accuracy of published content.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
